Summary

Last Friday I announced the Friday Workbox® and all related work products will only be available for purchase till December 31st or while supplies last. But I don’t think I explained it very well so I wanted to record this episode to address concerns and reiterate what is going on at Organize 365®. 

No One is Going Anywhere…

Please do not worry, no one is getting laid off. No one who works at Organize 365® is going anywhere. Steph who runs the Friday Workbox will still be here. Stephanie, my Chief of Staff and Anna are also still here. They are doing more behind the scenes things. But no one is going anywhere, we’re just all going in a new direction. 

Got Distracted

For about a year and a half I have been trying to support both home and work organization.  You see, as an organizer, I get people going in the right direction and then I want to follow them into that thing that they discovered they are good at. But in doing that I now see that I am leaving people behind. They’re ready to get off the declutter cycle only to find me miles ahead helping people in work areas. I started Organize 365® because I feel like I am called to help women organize their homes and then they are forced to struggle with what they are uniquely created to do. I want that evolution back. Someone gets decluttered. I help them to get organized and productive. Then they are ready to fly the nest to a coach, start a business, get into a hobby, whatever their next chapter is. I’m just refocusing more narrowly on the home. And this way too there is one clear message for you to share to others who need to get organized.

Silver Lining

The silver lining in all of this is great pricing now till December 31st or while supplies last. 50% off all work related products excluding the Income and Expense Planner. You will still get the full course, the community, and workbooks.  In 2026, the courses will simply move to legacy status. You will still have the community to support you, but there will no longer be someone from Organize 365® leading the community or holding co-working time. 

And if you are in need of a certified organizer or still want to get certification, it’s not too late. The certified organizers for business and the Teacher workbox will be available till December. If you want to get certification or add certification, you can still purchase those. I really tried to explain, in this episode, what the pre-requisites are for adding certifications and how long each one takes. If you want to get inventory, it’s deeply discounted for our certified organizers. 

It’s been tough to make the decision to discontinue products that are lucrative to the business and that the community loves so much. But it is time for me to go back to center and focus on that initial transformation I used to get so much feedback about. Thank you so much for all your encouraging words in this transition. After reading so many reactions/responses I feel confident in this decision. 

I encourage you to listen to episode 680 (re-airing right after this one) again for an extended explanation of all of this and what the future looks like for the current work related products, services, and communities in 2026. There are also links to all the products in episode 680. And if you are still left with questions feel free to email customer service at [email protected].

Welcome to the Organized 365 podcast. I'm your host, professional organizer, productivity expert, and motivational speaker Lisa Woodruff. This podcast will help you embrace progress over perfection and create lasting functional organizing in your home.

0:23.2

I have so much to share with you, so let's get started.

0:29.6

All right. Hello, everybody. Happy Friday. Okay, I've got it going. Hi, I am recording this as a podcast and I'm also recording it live on

0:40.7

Instagram and on the app. And I am here to just give you some updates and let you know what the

0:47.8

feedback has been about the huge announcement I made on Monday afternoon that we are

0:52.5

eliminating our Friday workbox, our education workbox

0:56.3

lines and everything that goes along with those products. So the announcement on Monday and the

1:01.9

podcast that came out, which I don't know how great the podcast was because the title wasn't

1:06.8

great. So I'm recording this additional podcast now to give you some more backstory. And then we're

1:13.0

going to re-air that podcast. So if you're listening on the podcast and you see another one that says

1:18.0

Friday Workbox farewell and you listen to it last week, you've already listened to it. You don't need to

1:22.3

listen to it again. So I'll sum up real quick what I said. And what I said was, I just have this feeling that it's time to let the Friday workbox line and all the lines associated with them go. Because what I have noticed personally is that I love, I love everything related to the Friday workboxes and teacher workboxes and masterminds and meeting agenda course and Friday

1:45.3

Workbox Planning Day and teacher camp and all of these different things that I have been focusing on.

1:50.3

But they are a distraction from my original aim, which is helping people get their homes organized.

1:57.4

And I started to organize 365 when I was about to turn 40 years old. I left my paid work job

2:05.1

to come home to do the work that only I was uniquely gifted and created to do, which is the mother

2:10.3

to my children, the wife to my husband, and to manage our household. And I said, and I said many

2:16.4

times in my first decade of owning Organized 365,

2:19.8

that what I noticed, what I noticed in the professional organization field is that when people

2:26.8

became professional organizers, like I did, and they started organizing inside of people's homes,

2:32.1

what they ended up doing about three to five years in is they

2:35.1

would leave professional organizing in the home and they would start professionally organizing in
